Kapaxawa kalatapa’
Kapaxawa kalatapa’,
katawaka k kiwi,
kakaxtlawa mimasekg
antaní wi aktsú jun.
Kakgamanant kalatapa’,
xatuxtuna talitsin
kalimaxtu mi lakgpixtajat,
katlini kintsikan pa’pa’,
na ka aktsu spun monkgxni,
pekwan akxní lakawakxilhkan
kxa walhten katsisní.
Ni kapekwant kastakt
antaní skgatankgoy xanat,
kakgamanant le tsekg tsekg
luchaná naliwakxilha
pi nikititakgsn talipuwán.

Live Your Life Playing
Live your life playing
live your life playing
climb up into the trees
build your nest
next to the hummingbird.
From your tears build
a fountain of laughter
sing to the Mother moon
the owl is nothing more than a bird
frightened by the reflection
of the night.
Don't be afraid to grow
play hide and seek
you'll see that your sadness
will never find you.
